Well, towards evening I got a call from my sister. So I headed to the hospital.

Jin Woo's mother had woken up, and I would have to meet her after all. Although, I wasn't really afraid that she might realise that I wasn't who I thought I was. The woman had been asleep for too long, so any change in my behaviour was more than understandable.

- Son..." she breathed out when she saw me in the doorway.

The worried doctors were shuffling from foot to foot. Indeed, this is the first time that a patient in eternal sleep has come to his senses. But, I do not have much water of life, and its replenishment is not planned in the near future. So I have neither the ability nor the desire to heal all those who suffer.

- Hello, Mum. Did you get any sleep yet?

- Aha... - Jin-A, who was sitting next to me, coughed.

I agree, not the best greeting. But, Gen-He couldn't hold back a joyful smile.

- ''Yes...'' The woman grinned.And, I also couldn't help but notice that the elixir had a more extensive effect on her. She didn't just wake up from her coma. The woman's previously grey face had taken on a healthier hue, wrinkles smoothed out, and there was a glint of life in her eyes. She looked younger now.

- You've grown so much..." She sighed. - All grown up.

I just shrugged.

And, here I stayed for a while longer, chatting with my mother and sister. It would be a few more days before Gen-He was discharged. But no one would dare to keep her here longer than necessary, given that her son is an S-rank hunter. Nevertheless, we were not allowed to stay here for long now. Visiting hours are already over.

- Jin Woo! It's just... - Sighed her sister. - Mum's awake! It's real, right?

- Yes." I nodded.

- Huh...

But as we were on our way home, Jin-A remembered one detail.

- Wait... just today, when you asked me to visit mum... she woke up. Before, I always visited her myself... you never asked.....

- I just wanted her to see you when she woke up.

- So you knew?

I nodded.

- In the dungeon, I found... a potion.

Once inside, I show my sister a vial of the water of life.

- It can cure any disease. But I only have a few, so I didn't want to make a big deal about having such a thing.

- This...

The potion disappears in my hands.

The girl continues to stare at me with her mouth hanging open in shock.

- Okay, let's have dinner.

- Ah... yeah...

Anyway, I wasn't going anywhere tonight. So I spent the evening with my sister.

- Brother... do you think mum will be home soon?

- Yeah. I'm nodding to the girl. - If anything, I'll take care of it myself.

We ate together, talked some more and watched a film before going to our rooms. Jin-A still needed to make sense of her recent experiences. She was glad that Mum was awake, but also very confused.

I, on the other hand, stayed in my room for a while.

I checked the hunters' website, the auction catalogue. And, well, I didn't find anything particularly valuable. I sold some of the Demon Castle trophies at the system shop. Some at the auction, so my wealth increased significantly. But overall, my equipment was already excellent. Especially the part that was equipped through the system.

- Hmm, should I call Hee Jin?

The image of her perfect body came to mind. And my trousers immediately felt tighter.

But it was too late. I didn't want to disturb a girl in the middle of the night. And then, I decided to pay attention to the other person who was now firmly attached to me.

- Aesil.

The girl appeared from the shadows, immediately kneeling down.

- Hmm, you seem to be doing well as a shadow.

- Yes... I am happy that I can continue to serve you, Overlord.

- Can you tell me what it's like? How did you feel when you became a shadow?

- I saw darkness, lord. The nothingness where souls disappear, I saw it wanting to consume me... but, your power ripped me from that darkness and gave me new life. I feel connected to you and it fills my heart with sincere happiness!

She spoke in a burst of inspiration, raising a rapturous gaze at me.

- I see... then, another question, how do you feel about me... I don't mean as a servant. In the dungeon, it seemed to me that you were interested in me. Did you?

- I... d-yes... - The demoness shuddered.

And immediately averted her gaze, giving in to panic.

Still, even as a shadow, she remained a charmingly awkward girl.

- Show your face.

Nodding excitedly, Aesil took off her helmet, and it rather quickly dissolved into a dark blot, disappearing into the shadows. And looking at her face, I reached out to touch her. The girl's skin emitted a faint blue light, giving her the appearance of a ghost, but, I could actually touch her and feel the warmth of her body.

- Sir-" The shadow whispered awkwardly.

- Come to me, Aesil...

With my arms around her waist, I pulled her to me and touched my lips to hers.

The sweet kiss didn't last long, but it made me wonder why I needed regular girls when I had shadows. For the love of beauty, maybe...

- Mahhh... - The demoness snapped away from me.

The girl's gaze sparkled with a mystical light, but there was a sense of trembling anticipation in it. I didn't need to ask her if she wanted to continue. If I wanted to, I could easily understand how any of my shadows felt, what they wanted and what they were thinking.

So, tipping Aesil over on the bed, I hooked my fingers into her shadow armour and ripped it off the girl's body in one motion. The armour turned to a shadow veil, which I simply tossed aside and it melted into the air. And I got close to the girl and leaned over to her. Stroking her naked body, I enjoyed exploring her erotic curves. It felt different from a living person, but I couldn't say it was worse. Aesil's beautifully trained body radiated a sort of mystical aura, giving her an even more exotic appearance. A glowing light blue figure, like a ghost, but so pleasant to the touch.

- Mmm..." The girl moaned sweetly as I kissed her again.With one hand I began to squeeze her small breasts, while the other continued to stroke her waist and then smoothly moved to her thigh, caressing her smooth skin with the palm of my hand.

- Lord..." Esil whispered rapturously as I pulled away from her lips.

And, feeling my blood boiling with desire, I decided not to drag it out any longer and get to the main course. The darkness covered my clothes and they disappeared with it, allowing me no time to waste. Lifting up, I stroked her beautiful body again and taking hold of the girl's hips, I nestle myself into her hole.

- Ahhhh... - Aesil covered her mouth with her hands, holding back a moan.

I finally entered her. My cock squeezed the girl's tender bosom, and the demoness herself pressed her hot thighs against me as I made the first thrust.

- Mhhh..." she sobbed sensuously.

Leaning forward, I leaned into her again, pressing myself against her body and kissing her lips passionately. I continued to move my pelvis even more vigorously, ramming my cock into Esil's pussy again and again. And so, until the sexual tension reached a peak, when it was simply impossible to hold back.

- Oaahhhh... - the girl arched beneath me, trembling with pleasure.

And I felt the pulse of orgasm as well, sending it down into the demoness. Digging my fingers into her firm arse, forcing her up a little, I kept cumming into her, flooding my seed into my partner's hot pussy.

- Ahhh... - Esil exhaled happily, relaxing in my arms.

Leaving the demoness' tight hole, I enjoyed watching my cum gradually oozing out of her. The sight of it made my sense of possessiveness sing, whispering that this girl belonged to me now.

- Come on, sit down here...

Settling down next to her, I stroked the girl's shoulder.

- Master?

- I want you to serve me with your mouth.

Such a statement made the demoness catch her breath. She tried desperately to look away. But, at the same time...

- Y-yes...I will... - She bravely leaned down to my groin.

Covering my eyes, however, I leaned back a little, savouring the feel of her soft lips on my cock. She took hold of it just as gently with her hands, beginning to gently stroke and caress it.

- Mhhhm... - She tried to take it deeper.

She probably hadn't expected to be able to swallow it almost completely without any problems. Her changed physiology, as it turned out, could give her that advantage as well. And now, with a wet sound, she began to suck my cock passionately.

I, on the other hand, lowered my gaze and put my hands on the girl's head, savouring this stunning view.

- Esil, look at me.

The demoness shuddered.

She tried so desperately to hide her gaze, but when I asked her to look at me, the girl couldn't disobey. Her face darkened with embarrassment as she continued to give me a sensual blowjob and timidly looked into my eyes. Her actions were somewhat inept, but a sea of passion was just pouring out of her.

- You're just lovely, Esil....

And, feeling a rush of pleasure, I took hold of her head, perhaps a little roughly, pouring into the girl's throat.

- Ahem...

The girl almost coughed, but quickly calmed down, remembering that she didn't really need to breathe. Finally, with a slurp, she swallowed the rest of the cum and pulled away from my groin.

- I swallowed it all...

- Good girl ... - I stroked her head affectionately.

I still needed some time to recharge, but soon I was ready to pleasure the girl again in a new position and enjoy her tight hole.

And so we entertained ourselves for most of the night.

Interestingly, the endurance of the shadow was almost endless, she was not tired, did not need sleep or food. But that didn't mean she could go on and on all day and night. Or rather, she could, but the girl's senses were dulled by the pleasure. Her sexual hunger had been quenched and she needed time to get hungry again.

- Aesil...

She was just as pleasant to cuddle with, even though she was a shadow. But, as I could see, that didn't make her in any way worse than a normal girl. On the contrary.

- Yes, master?

- Hmm... and how would you feel about... becoming one of my wives?

- Can I really do that? After all, I'm only serving you....

Looking at the girl a little surprised, I raised an eyebrow while expressing a question.

- You're one of the most beautiful and charming girls I've met. Isn't that enough?

- If that's what you think of me...

- I mean, you don't mind? And you don't mind that I might have another girl?

Aesil blinked in surprise herself.

- You are after all... Shadow Lord... you are more powerful than any demon lord and the demon king himself! - Without hiding her excitement, the girl said, standing up.

And then I heard a familiar phrase that had been uttered by my other servants not so long ago.

- You can have as many wives as you want!

- That's marvellous. - I nodded, remembering Baruki's manner of speech.

No, aren't shadow girls wonderful?

By the way, I have others, right? The three hunters from the dungeon with the orcs that I raised with my shadows. But, I was embarrassed by even the thought of just summoning them here now, even just to talk to them. It's kind of awkward when you're lying in the arms of another girl in your bed. Plus, those shadows were also different from Aesil in that they were either elite knights or just knights. That is to say, the rebellious huntresses couldn't even speak.

In any case, I spent this night just fine.

And even got some sleep.

So, in the morning, I felt well-rested and completely satisfied.

- Jin Wu! Brother!

Jin-A burst into the room and froze at the entrance. She stared wide-eyed at Aesil who was lying in my bed. Yeah, even though she doesn't need sleep, she chose not to retreat into the shadows, but to lie next to me in my arms.

- Ah... er...

- Ahem... well, yeah. Jin-A, I'd like you to meet Esil. My girlfriend.

- Hello... - The demoness mumbled innocently and slipped into my shadow.

- Huh? W-what... she... what did she say? - The sister was stunned.

Of course, Jin-A didn't understand what the demoness was saying. Aesil only knew the language of chaos, which I too was familiar with thanks to Ashborn's heritage.

- P-wait... you... you're... you're sleeping with a summoned monster? - Jin-A blurted out.

- What kind of rudeness is that, sister!? - I frowned. - She's a very beautiful and sweet girl, how can you call her a monster? Yes, it came out kind of bad that you caught us here, but it's not her fault, it's just that someone needs to knock.

Jin-A's eyes bulged.

- 'So, you were talking about her? - She asked. - When you were talking about your girlfriend?

- Well, not really. Esil came into my life only recently. I used to date a huntress. But... we broke up a little bit. And now I'm kind of seeing someone else.

- What? - The girl exhaled dazedly.

- Ohhh, it's complicated. - I waved my hand. - Never mind.

- M-my brother has become a womaniser... - Jin A stretched out with feigned horror - Wait... stop.

Taking a deep breath, my sister tried to remember why she had barged into my room in the morning.

- You healed Mum with the potion, didn't you... so she's fine now?

- Yes. You saw her, she's in better health now than she was before she got sick.

Swallowing nervously, the girl nodded.

And her gaze wagged, walking over my body before the girl turned away.

- Get dressed already! And... if Mum's okay... maybe we should take her out of the hospital?

- I think so, too.

But in the end, we couldn't pick up Mum until the next day. Even though I had to put some pressure on the head doctor. But I managed to get my sister to clean up her room on the pretext of Gen-Hye's return. And then the living room too. And Esil helped her with that. I also asked the demoness to take part in the cleaning, hoping it would help her get along with Gen-A a little. Of course, they didn't become friends for one cleaning session together. But at least her sister wasn't staring at her with such a shocked expression now.

Now...

- It's the same here..." Gen-He said with a strong sense of nostalgia.

She walked into the house, looking around. And I could feel this strange feeling from her. A frightening bewilderment. You realise that you haven't been home for a long time, that things might have changed. But, it's exactly the same here as it was before, and it's actually confusing.

- Get some rest. I'll cook something. - I'm telling the woman.

- Have you learnt to cook? - She smiled.

- Well... yeah. Someone had to feed Jin-A.

- Jin-woo... - The woman's voice trembled.

- 'Umm... mum?

- You... were able to take care of Jin-A without me and father. I'm sorry... I left you two for so long....

- Hey, it's not your fault after all. - I shook my head.

- Did you become a hunter?

- Well, yeah. - I shrugged my shoulders.

Gen-He pressed her lips together.

- 'Mum, you don't need to worry about me. I know the limits of my strength and I don't take risks, at all.

The moments when I took unnecessary risks immediately came to mind.

But at least Mum didn't demand that I quit my job as a hunter and accepted the news calmly. Later, though, I did make the family dinner. Judging by the look on her face, Jin-A would have been happier to eat fried chicken from the diner or pizza. Gen-He, on the other hand, was just happy to eat at home.

But she had already decided to make dinner herself....

- Hmm, Esil, do you know how to cook? - I asked.

- I'm sorry, Sir..." the shadow mumbled guiltily.

- I see, you are a princess after all... you must have had servants cooking for you. - I sighed.

Nevertheless, I decided to look for cooks among my other servants.

I didn't expect high culinary skills from the various monsters, but surprisingly, I didn't have to search long.

- Master... - Igris came to my attention.

- Ah... what? Can you cook?

- Yes... - The knight bowed his head obediently.

- Whoa. Let's do something for me tomorrow then, shall we? Would that be all right?

- I'll do whatever you ask....

- It's a request.

- Master...

Lifting his head, Igris stared at me with a confused look.

- Okay. - I sighed, rolling my eyes. - Let there be an order.

- Yes!" the marshal said cheerfully.So breakfast was prepared for me by the commander of a powerful shadow army. Jin-A was still asleep. But Mum woke up early and, coming into the kitchen, stared at the scene in shock. A graceful warrior in dingy armour, with ghostly flames streaming across it, was carefully cooking. Right in his lacquered gloves... and with an apron over his armour.

Sitting at the table, I shifted my gaze to Gen-He.

- Yes, I know what you mean, Mum. I'm shocked too.

- Ah-ah-ah..." she said in a daze. - W-what is that?

- My servant. I specialise as a summoner mage.

Igris, who had previously been so confident in his cooking skills, now suddenly realised that he had no idea how to use modern household appliances. With increasing excitement, he looked at the cooker. At the same time, he desperately didn't want to admit that he couldn't follow orders.

- Ehhh... okay, Igris, can I help you?

- Overlord... - The knight's steely voice rang with poorly concealed panic.

- I realise this technique is new to you.

- I'm sorry..." He lowered his head.

- Don't worry about it. If you want to, you'll get the hang of it in no time. Let me help you.

In the end, we made breakfast together. And Gen-hee joined us in giving us advice.

- By the way, do you want to have breakfast with us? - I asked the shadow when the food was ready.

Jin-A has already shown up, having just washed her face but still looking sleepy and dishevelled. Just adorable.

- I don't need food, Master. - Igris replied calmly.

- But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the taste of it. Can't you? If you want, you can eat with us.

- I don't...

- Only if you want to, I don't mind.

Igris was in a panic.

- Um, brother, is this another one of your... monsters?

- What monster is that! - I was outraged. - Igris don't listen to her, you're a good guy, not a monster. Ohhh, Jin-A, why are you being so rude?

Igris himself looked at me confused. There was some sort of contradiction in his gaze.

- I'm sorry. - My sister mumbled, bowing guiltily to the knight.

He just waved his hand silently, showing that he was not angry and that there was no need to bow down and apologise to him.

- Anyway, if you'd like to have breakfast with us, I'd be glad to.

Now he's really cheered up.

And so we were seated at the table.

I was about to eat when suddenly...

Igris took off his helmet.

- Huh? My eyes bulged.

My family was also surprised, but maybe not as much as I was.

- Nice guy, huh? - Jin-A, who also noticed my shock, grinned wryly. - Brother, who's the real monster here is you, calling such a beautiful girl a boyfriend!

And I was still dumbfounded.

Igris, the Blood Scarlet Knight, the strongest of my shadows, the loyal follower with whom we had already travelled through so many battles....

He turned out to be a woman!

And now he... she looked away in embarrassment and awkwardly fixed her fringes in a feminine gesture. I just felt a great deal of cognitive dissonance.
